I.  The  Conscriptsin  the  Parishes  of  East  and 
West  Feliciana,  and  East  Baton  Rouge,  will  assem- 
ble without  delay  at  Olive  Branch  near  Clinton, 
and  report  to  Co).  Preston  Pond,  commanding  Camp

lay at  Ponehatonla  at  a  Camp  of  Instruction,  and 
report  to  Capt  Mc  Pea. 

IV.  The  commanding  General  is  assured  that 
many  who  come  under  the  provisions  of  the  Con- 
script Law  have  not  had  the  opportunity  of  compli- 
ance with  its  requirements,  and  now  that  Camps  of 
Instruction  arc  specially  designated  under  compe- 
tent commanders,  they  will  repair  to  ihem  at  once 
and  place  themselves  in  the  front  rank  of  their 
country's  defenders. 

V.  If,  however,  from  unforeseen  circumstan- 
ces, the  extraordinary  spectacle  should  present  itself 
to  the  eyes  of  the  world,  that  citizen-soldiers  of  Lou- 
isiana, fail  to  rally  voluntarily  to  the  defence  of 
their  liberties  and  firesides,  commanders  of  troops, 
Provost  Marshals  of  Parishes,  officers  of  the  Militia, 
civil  magistrates,  and  all  other  civil  officers,  are  en- 
joined to  take  prompt  and  effective  measures  to  en- 
able delinquents  toreach  their  respective  encamp- 
ments, 

By  command  of  Brig.  Gen.  RUGGLES.
